Please note the controller is deliberately undersized - 440w output limit @ 12v, but fine for the input of 540w.
(We don't think it's worth the extra ££ for such a small production loss in height of summer only)
If you want to cover all of this, you can upgrade to the 50a Victron, let us know and we will adjust the kit for you.
Brand New 200Ah Sealed Vented Lead Acid Battery
The Technology – Sterling’s high integrity valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) batteries operate as a starved electrolyte system. The electrolyte is limited to the amount that either is absorbed in the battery plates or wets the fibres in the separator. The resulting system allows gases produced during overcharge to diffuse from one plate to the other and to be recombined back into the electrolyte.
This recombination creates a closed system, thus reducing the release of gases into the atmosphere under normal discharge conditions.
Since the electrolyte is recycled, there is no need to add water to the batteries. This reduced maintenance leads to a longer life battery in a clean and compact container. They can be installed when flooded batteries are impractical.

Impact resistant ABS case and cover.
Industry standard footprints for easy field replacement.
Maintenance free.
98% recyclable.
Charging: (25°C / 77°F).
Standby use: Float charging voltage 13.50V to 13.80V.
Cyclic use: Maximum charging current 60A. Charging voltage: 14.4 - 14.7V.
Top charge: Product in storage (at ambient temperature) requires a top up charge every 6 months. Apply constant voltage at 2.40 volts per cell. The initial charging current should be set at less than 0.1 CA for 15 to 20 hours.
Smaller physical size 270W solar panel, great for fitting into tigher spaces on Vans, Campers, Motorhomes and Boats. Measuring just 1482 X 992 X 35mm, they offer great flexiblity for smaller and more complex shaped roofs.
The Perlight 270W Delta Mono Triple Black 54 Cell module is a classic all black mono-crystalline solar panel which use the state-of-the-art technology in the design & manufacturing process, thus ensure the superior quality as well as the modern appearance. The Perlight 270W Delta Mono Triple Black 54 Cell module is designed especially for the European market by Perlight, recognizing the importance of aesthetics in construction. When installed in arrays, the Delta Black offers a more uniform appearance, enabling PV modules to integrate into new and existing buildings without necessarily making the array the focal point of the building.
Reliability
Safety
Eco-Friendly
A solar charger gathers energy from your solar panels, and stores it in your batteries. Using the latest, fastest technology, SmartSolar maximises this energy-harvest, driving it intelligently to achieve full charge in the shortest possible time. SmartSolar maintains battery health, extending its life.
MPPT: Ultra Fast Maximum Power Point Tracking
By constantly monitoring the voltage and current output of your solar (PV) panels, MPPT technology ensures that every drop of available power is rinsed out of your panels, and harvested for storage. The advantage of this is most noticeable when the sky is partially clouded, and light intensity is constantly changing.
Remote Monitoring and Control
Remotely control and monitor the extensive features of your SmartSolar MPPT charger with built-in bluetooth by pairing it with your smartphone or other device via VictronConnect. If your installation is connected to the internet Victron Remote Management Portal (VRM) provides access to the full power of your MPPT, anytime, anywhere; both services are free to use. For remote installations - even when there is no internet connection or phone signal nearby - you may be able to monitor your MPPT by bluetooth-pairing with a LoRaWAN (long-range wide area network) device, available optionally.
Victron pure sinewave output, high peak power and high efficiency in a compact unit. Models range from 250VA to 1200VA with UK socket - other socket outlets available on request
These inverters allow you to power domestic equipment - requiring 230VAC - using 'leisure' or 'automotive' batteries rated at 12V
Bulit in DC fuse in all models but not replaceable in all models - see the manual for further details on which models carry the replaceable fuse.

VE.Direct communication port
The VE.Direct port can be connected to:
• A computer (VE.Direct to USB interface cable needed)
• Apple and Android smartphones, tablets, MacBook’s and other devices (VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle needed)
Fully configurable:
• Low battery voltage alarm trip and reset levels
• Low battery voltage cut-off and restart levels
• Dynamic cut-off: load dependent cut-off level
• Output voltage 210 - 245V
• Frequency 50 Hz or 60 Hz
• ECO mode on/off and ECO mode sense level Monitoring:
• In- and output voltage, % load and alarms
Proven reliability
The full bridge plus toroidal transformer topology has proven its reliability over many years. The inverters are short circuit proof and protected against overheating, whether due to overload or high ambient temperature. High start-up power Needed to start loads such as power converters for LED lamps, halogen lamps or electric tools. ECO mode When in ECO mode, the inverter will switch to standby when the load decreases below a preset value (min load: 15W). Once in standby the inverter will switch on for a short period (adjustable, default: every 2,5 seconds). If the load exceeds a preset level, the inverter will remain on.
Remote on/off
A remote on/off switch can be connected to a two pole connector, or between battery plus and the left hand contact of the two pole connector

STÄUBLI MC4 Solar PV connectors - Pair of Y Branches
Connect your solar modules together with ease using these safe and durable MC4 connectors. This pair of "Y" shape connectors (one in a male to female, female configuration, and one in a female to male, male configuration) will allow you to connect panels or strings of panels together. If you need to connect 3 panels together then it is cheaper to use 2 pairs of these than to purchase a 3 way splitter (its about 1/3 of the cost to use these)
